Biography

Nancy Ruddle
is known for her discovery and analysis of lymphotoxin, a protein produced by T
cells that plays a role in the protective immune system and destroys tumor
cells. She and researchers in her laboratory have engaged in research on the
lymphotoxin/tumor necrosis factor family, their regulation and roles in
lymphoid organ development and pathogenesis of viral and autoimmune disease.
The more than 170 scientific articles Ruddle has authored or co-authored have
explored the immunology of such diseases as leukemia, experimental allergic
encephalomyelitis and Leishmania amazonensis infection, among others. She continues
to generate insight into the regulation and function of lymphoid organs through
her analysis of the vessels crucial for their function.

How will my information be used?

When you express interest in a specific study, the information from your profile will be sent to the doctor conducting that study. If you're eligible to participate, you may be contacted by a nurse or study coordinator.

If you select a health category rather than a specific study, doctors who have active studies in that area may contact you to ask if you would like to participate.

In both cases, you will be contacted by the preferred method (email or phone) that you specified in your profile.
